Syncing a single calendar to multiple iPhones

I have a situation that Im hoping has an easy solution...
My fiance and I both have 3G iPhones. My phone is synced to my work computer as well as our home machine via MobileMe while my fiance's is linked solely to the home computer via USB sync. We each have separate accounts on our home computer so that we can manage our calendars and contacts individually.
It would be nice to have the ability to sync to some sort of a 'shared' calendar however, where we can keep events that pertain to us both, without having to enter them into each calendar separately. Is there any way to continue syncing with our individual calendars as well as a shared one (Google Calendar?)?
Im thinking not, but wanted to check. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, if you add the MobileMe calendar sync to an iPhone that has existing calendar data, you'll lose what's already on it. I suppose the MobileMe sync tool needs to start from an empty iPhone in order to make sure the events are pushed correctly. I presume (but haven't tried myself) that if you back up her iCal calendars, then turn on MobileMe sync on her iPhone and wait for everything to sync up, then restore her calendar; that you'll be okay. The usual disclaimers apply, of course.
What you seem to want to end up with is seperate calendars. They'll all sync over MobileMe, but she can select only hers in the iPhone.
The 'family pack' offers no addition benefits in this area
That's correct. The Apple sales guy told me I'd need the Family Pack to do this, when in fact the Family Pack is basically a quantity discount for seperate MobileMe accounts -- you can't merge or share calendars between Family Pack accounts.

Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

I've done all of these things, and nothing is working. I understand how the cloud is supposed to work, and I understand how to sync via itunes. For some reason, the calendar is the only thing that isn't syncing.
I have support on the phone now. We've figured out that if I make a calendar entry on icloud from my PC, it follows through on my phone and ipad. Same if I make the entry on my iphone - it follows to icloud on my PC and ipad. But when I make the entry on the ipad, it doesn't follow through to my iphone or icloud on my PC.
I've had a tech walking me through all of this for about a half hour now. Can't figure it out. He's checking with his senior tech, has me on hold right now. It's looking like I may have to make a trip to my nearest Apple store, 45 minutes away.

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

Problem: iTunes does not sync my Outlook calendar with my iPhone calendar.

how do I sync my outlook calendar with my iPhone?

Did you ever solve the problem? I have an iPhone 4 and don't use the Cloud. I sync the iPhone with my Windows 7 Outlook using iTunes. It worked perfectly until I upgraded the iPhone to iOS 7.0.2 and now the calendar entries from the iPhone are updated in Outlook but the calendar entries in Outlook are not synced to the iPhone. I get this message. Any help would be appreciate. I went to the "Genius Bar" at my local Apple Store, they were clueless and no help at all.

How do I sync my computer calendar into my iphone?

What program is your calendar in on your computer? What computer OS do you use? If it is a supported calendar application, you can connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, on the Info page select the calendar and sync. Too many other variables right now to answer your question easily. Please answer the earlier questions.

Then ask Verizon what the issue is and why there is no option for calendar.

Hi Lyssa! Many thanks for your answer!
I had my suspicions about something like that. Apparently Apple wants to have FULL CONTROL of its users lives. I have been using Apple products since the late 80’s and I, so far, still do.
I find it a bit funny but mostly stupid that Apple has removed the syncing function between iPhone and Mac. So, even if you are a ’loyal’ Apple user, you now have to publish your whole life on iCloud if you want to copy your calendar and contacts to your OWN iPhone from your computer/vice versa, because that is what this is all about. Otherwise, you can’t sync between the iPhone and your computer, even if you are loyal to Apple, using both their laptop and their phone.
I do not want to do that and therefore I now have decided to leave the Apple platform for good. So, next time I choose a computer, a phone etc, it will not be an Apple product. Goodbye Apple!
Many thanks again, Lyssa. Have a nice day!

Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
Is this possible?

Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
Here is how I have ours sync:
1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Syncing Outlook 2007 Calendar to my iPhone - HELP

Does anyone know the answer to this question below? I got my iPhone last Friday, immediately activated it, all went very smooth and very quick. When it came to syncing contacts and calendar, it did not work so well. Over the last week on multiple calls with Apple and Microsoft Technical Support, I was able to fix the contacts not syncing issue and all is working great. As for the calendar, I still am having problems and wondering if "ANYONE" has the answer? Initially I could not get any calendar events to sync. After exporting my entire calendar (530 items) to my desktop as a .CSV file, deleting my calendar off the corporate server and importing it back in, it finally brought over all my calendar events minus any recurring appointments. I am hearing it will "not" allow you to sync recurring appts which is a REAL PROBLEM!!
I still have a problem in that if I add a new event on my Outlook Calendar, sync both Outlook and the iPhone, it will not add the even to my iPhone.
If I add an event on the iPhone and do the syncs, it puts it on the Outlook Calendar. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard of.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A WORKING SOLUTION?????

If you are still having a problem synchronizing the Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the iPhone, even with the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3), the following steps may help. I've found these steps are the fastest solution until Apple releases a fix; hopefully with the next editions of iTunes.
Again, perform the following if, each time you try to synchronize your Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (or perhaps even Outlook 2007) to your iPhone nothing happens.
A. Open iTunes
B. Open Outlook 2003
C. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click COM Add-Ins again and verify "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" is still selected; if it’s not selected perform these optional
steps, however if it is selected skip these optional steps and move on to step 8.
Optional Steps – Only necessary to perform this if the "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" does not remain selected after following the
previous steps
Still in Outlook 2003…
a. Enter Help -> About Microsoft Office Outlook
b. Enter Disabled Items
c. Enable the "Addin: outlook itunes sync adding (outlooksyncclient.dll)
d. Click Close
e. Click OK
f. Start at the beginning of these steps
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
10. Click OK
11. Leave Outlook 2003 open
D. In iTunes…
1. Synchronize the iPhone
2. Everything selected should be synchronized. That should include Calendar and Contacts if those are selected.
3. You can then close or leave iTunes open; doesn't matter
4. Move on to the next set of steps.
E. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Un-Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click OK
8. Click OK
